Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022184879A1] A target for sputtering, use of said target and method of manufacture of said target is provided.The target has a single piece target material for sputter deposition, with at least 1 mm, for example at least 2 mm, such as 4 mm or more of thickness of material for sputtering, having a lamellar structure and comprising a metal oxide with at least 50 wt.%, such as 60 wt. % or 80 wt.% or at least 90 wt.% or even 95% wt.% or more of tungsten oxide. The atomic ratio of oxygen over tungsten results in a compound with oxygen deficiency with respect to the stoichiometric tungsten oxide. The method includes spraying metallic tungsten and/or tungsten oxide powder in amounts so as to provide a layer of material for sputtering being at least 1 mm thick and comprising non-stoichiometric tungsten oxide.
